Avon L/S [swatches] + New Book

I stopped by an Avon store today and omg there were so many goodies..I only picked up these 3 lippies cuz the store was almost closing...So what did I pick up, I got these three lipsticks, they were $3.99 each. I also brought home a catalog so I just might place and order but I don't know yet since this month it's kinda hectic for me since we're in the process of moving out...I HATE MOVING!!! Too much stress!!!
So these are the 3 colors I got....Berrylicious, Flower, & Sunset Rose



The colors looked kinda weird swatched on my arm so I decided to do actual lip swatches






On the way home my hubby wanted to stop at the The Half Price Bookstore and guess what he bought me the book I wanted.."The Beauty of Color IMAN" I am so excited to have this book...I had been wanting it for a while now..so I'm glad to have it :D

So this is what I did to myself today..nothing fancy just blush, e/l, lip balm, and mascara...I wasn't too energetic for make-up...So I guess this is all for now...questions, comments..let me know!!!

1st Contest Entry: Pin-up Girl

So ladies I was finally brave enough to do an entry for a contest!! I'm so excited my first contest!!! Linea is hosting it...I decided to enter since I think the pin-up girl look is gorgeous I hope I did a good enough job!! Wish me luck everybody!!




I'm so excited and I just can't fight it!!! lol!!


I look pissed of..but i'm not I promise!!


this is everything i used!!!
Well i guess this is all for now!! LAters!!!

Cherryculture.com & Walgreens Haul

I am so happy that I finally received my cherryculture haul!! I received it yesterday but since my mailbox in my apts is too small they dropped it off at the front office and when I got home from work yesterday they were already closed so I had to wait till today to pick it up....I am so glad I finally got it cuz I was almost having an anxiety attack cuz it was taking too long...I am going to show u girls my haul from cc and from walgreens..lots and lots of pics!!!


So this is how they were are nicely wrapped:D



I got mostly nyx lippie stuff,
Amuse chocolate lipgloss,nyx round lipstick, nyx round lipgloss, nyx megashine lipgloss

ok so as my free gift I received this Amuse chocolate l/g...{it's so kute}, I ordered 3 round l/s cuz like most of y'all I am obsessed and in love with them!!



I decided to give their round l/g another try cuz I heard they had fixed their stoppers!! the ones I currently own have the stopper messed up [it pops out]..so so far so good no popping stopper





I had been wanting to buy these for the longest time..they are so cute and pigmented, plus they're huge!!






I also got three wild and crazy singles!!! These omg surprised me, they are super pigmented, the swatches below are done without a base...and also got the NYX concealer in a jar in "medium"





I went to walgreens last weekend...my intentions were to buy some ECO-TOOLS m/u brushes but sadly they didnt have the ones I wanted :(, SO I ended up buying some other stuff, I saw the L'oreal H.i.P lip products on a bogo so I picked up two jelly balms...and from wnw I got a single e/s in cream and one of those new gel e/l in eggplant..I dont really like the consistency of the gel liner [it's too greasy]


So these are some of the new products I got my hands on..any questions..let me know!! HAve a good day ladies..I'm off to enjoy my day off from work!! YAY ME!!!

Review: E.l.f. Duo Eye Shadow Cream

Where I bought these and for how much??
I bought them online on the elf website for $1 a piece

What the elf website states:
Express yourse.l.f. with the easy to blend, crease resistant, creamy duo eye shadow colors. Each gorgeous shade can be worn alone or together for a dramatic effect. The soft-blending formula can also be layered under powder eye shadow to set the color in and keep it lasting vibrant all day.

Directions:
Apply shadow to upper eyelid, blending in the lighter shade to illuminate and the darker shade for contouring and lining to achieve desired effect.

What I love about them:
In my opinion I love these they are a perfect base..the loose eyeshadow really grab on to these, for a dollar a piece i couldn't have made a better purchase, ..the colors within the duos go very well with each other. My fave is olive...why cuz I love the green in this duo..I would actually compare these to my revlon cream shadows..they almost have the same consistency..to check out swatches for revlon creme shadows..click here,
so if u dont mind spending $1 on a really good base for their price dont be afraid to pick up these duo creme e/s form elf

What I don't love:
They do crease alot..u have to keep these below ur crease in order to avoid this problem and also use a primer first..also while swatching I noticed that mocha swirl, butter pecan and berry mix look alot alike so i would recommend just picking out one out of these three. The other three do have very pretty different shades..

So on to the swatches!!!

swatches with no flash

Well I hpe this review was helpful to anyone out there who is thinking of getting their hands on some of these e.l.f. Duo Eye Shadow Cream!!
Have a good night ladies!!!
